Re: Earthlink is Toast Yes, I have to agree.
If Earthlink is depending on making money from city-wide WiFi rollouts, they are probably in very deep trouble. While the free, ad-supported, slow public WiFi will get some users(mostly tourists and travelling business persons), the paid part for faster access is likely to be a profit loss for earthlink unless speeds are greatly increased from where they are now. People just aren't going to pay more for 768/128 or 1500/256 WiFi than they can get from regular DSL providers at higher speeds.
Earthlink is doing everything possible to stay profitable, but the competition is much larger and better financed than they are. In the long run, they will probably sell out to a telco or cable or satellite competitor, whether they want to or not.
